WAR is it's own type of game, and so is AoC; they have nothing in common so let it be.

I do agree that this is different games with a different type of players^^ same way as some men prefer taking the girls from  behind and some men prefer... uhm..taking the girls from the front!  tihi = ) Finaly  someone with a little diplomacy in his blood

I saw somewhere that Perfect World has 30mil subscribers (granted, most are probably in China and most don't pay to play. But still... 30mil is nothing to scoff at!)

You dont want to have to work?  By work do you mean play the game?  Since when were games with no interactivity even called games, I believe people call them movies.

 

Anyways when someone convinces me theres a reason to play an auto-attack pvp game where basically no skill is involved ill be sticking with AoC, and hopefully monster hunter frontier when it comes out here.

AoC isn't skill based.  It's still going to be stat and weapon based.  Go play ddo, add combos onto it and there you go, you can experience AoC's combat.  Unless they've changed something in the past...month.   The game still looks to me, like ANY point and click affair, where you press 5-6 buttons to attack, and things just beat on you.  No real time dodging/parrying etc.

 

Not saying the game will suck... but it's not the innovative skill based game people are making it out to be(except for the ranged people...but have fun with that if it's anything like ddo it's going to be a bigger hastle to be ranged without being massively more effective)

Why do you say that the game is not skill based  when funcom says it is? My intension is not to "attack" you, but you must have some info I don't know about. If this is true we surely should let funcom know about it that they have made a big mistake!

 

Because I've looked at the videos of the game play, and i consider skill based games, to be more skillful, rather then stat and item based.

take a look at this video for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INeHI9MyGNU while it's obvious that he is not as strong as a player character is going to be, that's how combat is going to look.  Every single video of the game looks just like that.  And to me that looks like ANY OTHER MMORPG.  Saying "you have to do combos, and aim your character" is that enough to be a skill based game these days?  Is it that hard to turn your character?  And the combos... is that any different then using 5-6 skills in addition to auto attacking?  How about compared to coh?

I'm sorry but mmorpgs are not the only games i've played, and just because this is a mmorpg doesn't suddenly make the archaic looking melee combat skill based.

ahh. I started getting worried here. But you are just telling your opinon on what you mean is skill based combat (stupid me) sorry for taking your time. As for me I just hope that when I start playing AoC I will get the feling of attacking and parrying/dodging on my own. Wish me luck

big exspectation to this game U know. Better to be safe than sorry.... I belive that the game will be as goos as funcom say. they know what theyr doing because they have many years ap from AO and other big tiels like "the longest journey" and "dreamfall" ++ so I don't think they would let out anything unfinished....

 

AO was released unfinished and broken, by the time it was fixed and playable most people had moved on.  If they had released it in a semi playable working condition I think it would have been much more popular than it was.  AO was lucky they were able to pull things together as well as they did.  Seriously if you were not there for the AO launch it was much worse than Vanguards, however then people were much more forgiving.  Since a lot of the newer MMOs have launched smoothly it is now pretty much expected.

maybe they have learned since they 1st launch AO ^^ btw. AO have done good enough anyway, even it was/is not the most populare game.  I have long time seen forward to this game so I'm gonna give it a try if it so should be the last thing I do. Until now I think AoC seems to be the most exciting MMo out there

Faile again?

I have never played vanguard because I have heard that its most pve-playing (I prefer games with alot of  pvp) but I have wach over some videos/images and it seems like to be a beautilfull world with alot to explore and do! and to me it does not look unfinish at all

As long as the servers are okey I will not have a problem with the monthly fee

does somebody know if there are gonna be different mounts? (not just horses)

My main character will be a barbarian! but I'm also gonna try out herald of xotli (I have always liked hybrids). lich sounds also cool, but time will show

I'm gonna get me a new pc just for this game anyway

I belive that funcom know what they are doing when spending so much time and money on this game. Theyre graphix has always been above up to date and have in earlyer games had a good story-line (like " The longest jurney" and "Dreamfall" ++) Beside they have many year MMOxp from AO. I'll trust funcom that AoC will be as good as thay say. It seems that they have "pride" in theyre work (PS. eng. is not my 1st language)
